Enriched weapons-grade uranium consists of 80% uranium-235 (235.044 amu) and 20% uranium-238 (238.051 amu). what is the average

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons with different numbers of neutrons, hence they have different masses.
the natural abundance of these elements vary, we are given percentages in which these isotopes exist.
average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic mass of an atom relative to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom. the average atomic mass can be calculated by taking the sum of the masses of isotopes multiplied by the respective abundance percentage 
average atomic mass = (235.044 amu x 80%) + (<span>238.051 amu x 20%)
                                   = 188.04 + 47.61
                                   = 235.65 amu
the average atomic mass is 235.65 amu </span>

A cell contains the same DNA as its parent cell. This is a result of which process? mitosis meiosis gamete formation fertilizati
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Mitosis

Explanation:

A cell that contains the same DNA as its parent cell is a product of mitosis.

  • Mitosis is a cell division process that takes place in somatic cells.
  • In meiosis a single cell divides to produce two daughter cells each having the same DNA as the parent
  • Mitosis ensures that the same DNA is found between the parent
  • Mitosis is used for repairing and production of new cells.

CH3CI, CF4, HCI, NH3 which would have the lowest boiling point
Sergio [31]

Boiling point of a compound is determined by the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules present in it. Stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction, higher will be the boiling point.

Ionic compounds show ion-ion interactions which are the strongest among all. Ion-dipole interactions are shown when ionic solutes are dissolved in polar solvents. Hydrogen bonding is also a relatively stronger force that is present between H atom and an electronegative atom like F, O and N(NH_{3}) . All polar molecules show dipole-dipole interaction (CH_{3}Cland HCl). Dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces due to momentary dipoles between electron clouds and nucleus.

Among the given compounds, CF_{4}has dispersion forces as the major intermolecular forces of attraction. So they they exhibit the weakest IMF, hence have the lowest boiling point.

Write the net cell equation for this electrochemical cell. Phases are optional. Do not include the concentrations. Co ( s ) ∣ ∣
Tatiana [17]

Answer: The overall equation will be Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)

Explanation:

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Anode : Co(s)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+2e^{-}

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Cathode : Ag^+(aq)+e^{-1}\rightarrow Ag(s)  \times 2

The number of electrons lost must be equal to the number of electrons gained , thus overall equation will be :

Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)
